#79072 BigBoyinMS (User) BigBoy. BigBike. Expert Boarder Posts: 483 Screw size and why am I rich? 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   My Roadie is pure stock except for a set of Bub's Big Willy pipes w/ 2" baffles. I've done the choke knob trim and it really needed it. My questions: 1. Why would I be running rich? I can start up in the morning with a couple of twists of the throttle and drive off with no problem. 2. Does anyone know the float bowl screw size? I'd like to have all my parts ready before I start rejetting. I'm going to do a poor mans BAK and I just got in a Dynojet brand kit and a Maxair PMS screw. Thanks guys!   Logged     2006 Midnight.

The float bowl screws are sorta #2 philips but don't be surprised if you strip at least one out. They are very soft. If you have a dremel tool you can cut a straight slot in the head for a flat blade scredriver.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #79190 RSCstar1602 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 136 Re:Screw size and why am I rich? 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I can't answer directly but...... Does anyone know if the bowl screws on a HRS42 are the same size screw as the stock carb? I picked up an HSR42 and the bowl screws are 4mm dia. and 12mm long, picked up 25 Stainless steel phillips screws for a couple bucks. I have not had my stock carb apart, it runs to good   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #79271 BigBoyinMS (User) BigBoy. BigBike.

My bike runs great too, but I know it's running too rich which is not good.   Logged     2006 Midnight. Roland, The Roadie   The administrator has disabled public write access.
